Disability rights

Andrew Solomon has just written a book called "Far from the Tree." In it, he looks at how a handful of ancient conditions that are part of the human condition affect children and the parents who love them. Don Merrill talks with Andrew Solomon about why he did the book, why it seems to resonate so deeply with people and how much he had in common with the people he wrote about.

Host Paul Van Dyck discusses the sub-minimum wage provision with Mitch Pomerantz, President of the American Council of the Blind, in the second program in the series on work for people with disabilities. Paul also discusses his thoughts on 20 years of producing and hosting Sounds of Awareness.
